- | First of all you must become familiar with the eight stars listed | ||

- | at any bookstore or newagent and study the night sky with the aid of the chart. The rest is just simple mental arihmetic. | ||
- | On the dates given, the star is on the meridian (i e. the North South line) and north of the zenith at 9 p m. exactly. | ||

- | The star will advance 1 to the west of north for each day after the given date. It will also advance 15 to the west of north for each hour after the given time of 9 1.m. | ||
- | Select one of the two stars whose given dates aro ne' | ||
- | date of Observation. You may select either star dorending upon visibility conditions, time of night etc. (If you can estimate North from both | ||

- | Suppose Observation is made at 10 p m. on 26th August and that ALTAIR is selected. | ||
- | i) 26th August is 9 days earlier than the given date of 4th September, therefore, ALTAIR will be 90 east (i e. to your right) of the meridian at 9 p m. | ||
- | ii) 10 p m. is lhour later than the given time of 9 p m. therefore ALTAIR would be 15o west (i e. to your loft) of its position at 9 p m. | ||

+ | The star will advance 1 degree to the west of north for each day after the given date. It will also advance 15 degrees to the west of north for each hour after the given time of 9 pm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Select one of the two stars whose given dates are nearest to the date of observation. You may select either star depending upon visibility conditions, time of night etc. (If you can estimate North from both stars, this gives you a double check). Check the time accurately, Apply the corrections as above to obtain the direction of North. | ||

+ | __Example__: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Suppose Observation is made at 10 pm on 26th August | ||
+ | |||
+ | | ||
+ | - 10 pm is 1 hour later than the given time of 9 pm. therefore ALTAIR would be 15 degrees west (i e. to your left) of its position at 9 pm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now from (1), ALTAIR is placed 9 degrees | ||
+ | ALTAIR is placed 15 degrees west of the meridian, therefore ALTAIR will be 15-9 = 6 degrees WEST of the meridian at 10 pm. on 26th August. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It follows | ||
+ | |||
+ | To be more accurate, you should observe ALTAIR at 9/15 hrs after 9pm on 26th August (ie. at exactly 9.36pm) when it will be precisely | ||
